My Marriage To A Mute Alpha - Volume 1 Chapter 42

Later that night, Suho and Xiang decided to head to Suho’s villa. It was the only way to avoid raising suspicions. Except for Han Li and Cheng Mu, they didn’t want anybody else to learn about the incident. Nobody else knew that Suho had lost his voice just recently. Even if somebody were to find out, there was no time for explanation with all the other things going on. Now, the most important thing was for them to get together before something even bigger transpires.

The next day, after having breakfast, both of them took the time to relax and sat on the couch. “Suho, are we rushing things?” asked Xiang, sitting on Suho’s lap.

Suho shook his head and gently kissed him on his nape. Xiang flinched for a second and said, “Hey! That tickles!” But Suho had no idea of stopping there.

With his lips touching and embracing Xiang’s neck, he slowly put one of his hands under his shirt and caressed him. Xiang felt his skin burning up in the places where Suho touched. Xiang wrapped his arms around Suho’s neck and held on to him. With his other hand, Suho gently turned Xiang’s face towards him and kissed him. Before they could try to make the next move, the doorbell rang.

“Suho, there’s someone at the door,” said Xiang blushing while lightly pushing him away. But Suho showed no signs of withdrawing away from him. The doorbell kept on ringing. Xiang gently pecked his lips on Suho’s forehead and said, “Let’s see who it is. I’ll stay with you for the rest of the evening. Alright?”

Suho sighed and went to open the door. He looked into the peephole and noticed that it was Ai.

“Ah! Suho, how are you?” asked Ai in an anxious voice. She then noticed that Xiang was also there. When Xiang looked at her and smiled, she quickly turned her eyes away. Realizing what she had done, Ai put on a soft smile and said, “Xiang, you’re also here. Glad to meet you.”

Even though they were words of greeting, her tone made it seem like it wasn’t. But Xiang acted like he didn’t notice it and said, “Nice to meet you. Please come in.”

But Ai kept on staring at the ground and stood still. Heeding the awkwardness, Suho showed her the way in. Xiang and Suho noticed that Ai was feeling quite uncomfortable and that she was fidgeting. Suho took out some paper and started writing on it. He then showed it to Ai, which said, “Are you ok?”

She quickly replied, “I’m alright! But there’s a bandage on your throat! Are you alright? Nothing happened, right?” It seemed as if she was rushing to know what had happened. But the thing to notice was that she did not look them in the eye the entire time. It looked as if she was scared.

Xiang swiftly covered it with his hand and said, “Oh! Um… Suho scratched himself with a pen. It got a bit inflamed. That’s why.”

Ai then laughed it off and said, “Oh! Is that so,” and began fidgeting her fingers and feet again.

Both of them knew that something was off with Ai and that she was acting stranger than usual…
